mariadb-server not installable on Ubuntu Karmic

[Kristian Nielsen]

This is in a clean install of Ubuntu Karmic i386:

sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install --allow-unauthenticated -y mariadb-server

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  mariadb-server: Depends: mariadb-server-5.1 but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

Package mariadb-server depends on mariadb-server-5.1 depends on mariadb-client-5.1.

Package mariadb-client-5.1 depends on libdbd-mysql-perl and libmariadbclient16.

But libdbd-mysql-perl and libmariadbclient16 seem to conflict:

$ sudo apt-get --dry-run install libdbd-mysql-perl libmariadbclient16

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libdbd-mysql-perl: Depends: libmysqlclient16 (>= 5.1.21-1)
E: Broken packages

$ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server mariadb-server-5.1 mariadb-client-5.1 libdbd-mysql-perl libmariadbclient16

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libmariadbclient16: Conflicts: libmysqlclient16
E: Broken packages

So seems there is some problem here.

Can we expect this to be fixed and pushed to the repos in the next couple of days?

That's the plan.
And we're preparing 5.1.39 anyway so it may be that build rather than
a replacement 5.1.38.
Either way we'll get it sorted!

Regards,
Arjen.

With the committed fix, install and upgrade on karmic is ok in Buildbot.

[Kiril Angov (kangov)]

Perfect, thank you!

When would it be available in the apt repository?

We could rebuild for Karmic now, or just build 5.1.39 in a few days.
We were aiming for the latter, but if you really feel strongly about
it we could be persuaded.
Let us know!

Arjen.

No problem to wait, running the build from Percona for now and will simply update when you are ready with 5.1.39, thanks for the effort!

[Arjen Lentz (arjen-lentz)]

Resolved in 5.1.39 build.
